As above, that stretch really is horrific - as well as the issues mentioned above there are a few sets of lights on it too.
Move it about a mile east and you have the roads up through Epping - they should be just as quiet at that time, and although they're a bit more up and down, you're less likely to do damage to yourself or your bike.
Thanks mate, I do agree and ride out that way a lot - last time got overtaken by Tao GH doing the same as me on his TT rig.
I just wanted something to practice the specific distance with some RAB practice - but only really early so as to avoid too many lorries and red lights.
